Do Emissions Cause Tornadoes? Climate Service Would Know - Bloomberg
Might this destructive weather have something to do with global warming?
Wouldn’t we like to know. And who better to tell us than the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal agency that monitors the atmosphere, predicts the weather and collects and analyzes climate data?
The agency has for years wanted to create a National Climate Service that would track and assess climate change, figuring out whether it is to blame for specific extreme weather events such as tornadoes, floods, droughts, heat waves and hurricanes. In this and other ways, it would help people -- farmers, insurance companies, policy makers -- plan for changes in the growing season, coastal erosion, water supply, human health and so on.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Weather Underground, the world's first online weather service, announced today that it has added a new Climate Change Center to its popular site, wunderground.com. The primary goal of the new center is to present users with hard facts about how climate is changing in their local neighborhoods and empower people to form their own opinions on the climate change debate. [Gee, thanks, but I thought that I already had that power.]
